No one embodies this more than Mary, who literally makes a home for the Creator of all things in her own body and in her own house - the strangest reality we can conceive. Here, Rowan Williams invites us to explores and reflect on the depths of meaning in three classic icons of the Virgin and her child from the Eastern Christian tradition. Icons have been described as "theology in lien and colour" and, in tracing the movement within these icons, Williams discovers the pattern of love that they reveal, a love that invites and embraces us so that we no longer remain as spectators, but find ourselves caught up in the drama that unfolds itself before us.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 174mmItem Length: 127mmAuthor: Rowan WilliamsContributor: Kallistos Kallistos (Foreword by)Genre: Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
